We've got news...
We have a few new faces joining our talented team of Garden Girls! Help us welcome Elizabeth Kartchner, Corrie Jones, Janna Werner, Paige Evans, Lisa Dickinson, Melissa Stinson, Lilith Eeckels and Anna-Maria Wolniak. We are so excited to have these fabulous women joining us; learn more about them this week on the Two Peas blog!
We've also made some changes to how we will release our Garden Girl projects. In 2013 look for a new batch of Garden Girl projects under a monthly theme on the 1st of every month, as well as a new project and video tutorial each and every day, Monday - Saturday. Yes, you read that right. ;)
With a new year beginning we thought it would be fun to take a look back. See what the Garden Girls did with the theme "365/Everday" here, and check out our first video tutorial from Wilna Furstenberg here.
Now, let's take a look at what series we'll be featuring in the new year! You'll find these projects in our Design Team section as well as our Videos page.
213 in 2013 is a twist on challenges. Each layout and video tutorial will present a few prompts; be inspired by one or all of them! By the end of the year there will be a library of 213 prompts to inspire you - from photography to journaling to color combos and sketches. Taught by Shannon Tidwell, Corrie Jones, Lilith Eeckels, and Anna-Maria Wolniak.
In the Mood to Scrap explores the creative process - from curating a moodboard to translating that inspiration to a page. Taught by Wilna Furstenberg, Elizabeth Kartchner, Janna Werner, and Kristina Nicolai-White.
Your favorite scrapping superhero is not going anywhere in 2013! Glitter Girl will continue to save the world one crafty dilemma at a time each Wednesday. Don't forget to post your questions for her on the General Scrappin' message board.
Scrap Your Stash equips you with ideas for making a dent in the papers and stickers and goodies you've collected. Taught by Nancy Damiano, Jill Sprott, Paige Evans, and Amy Heller.
Seeing Double is all about getting a lot of mileage out of your supplies. See how the Garden Girls use the same design element in both a scrapbook layout and card or tag. Taught by Jen Gallacher, Laura Craigie, Lynn Ghahary and Lisa Dickinson.
We'll wind down each week with our Project Life* series taught by Amy Tan, Lexi Bridges, Melissa Stinson, and Marcy Penner. See how these four talented ladies document their everyday lives. *Project Life is a memory keeping system developed by Becky Higgins. Learn more at beckyhiggins.com.
We're confident 2013 will be the best year at Two Peas yet. We hope you're as excited as we are for what's in store!

The Adventures of Glitter Girl | Storage Thoughts
From Shimelle, "Happy holidays from Glitter Girl and all of us at Two Peas in a Bucket!

Finally Friday | Love Notes with Julie Campbell
From Julie, "I love tucking tiny cards in my son's lunchbox or my husband's briefcase. It's a fun surprise for them to discover in the middle of the day & it's a great way to let someone know that you're thinking about them.
This tiny love note might be small, but it's packed with cuteness! It all started with this love die cut from Amy Tangerine's Ready Set Go collection. At the end of the tutorial, I share a unique twist to the traditional envelope. Make sure to watch & find out more!" ... see challenge and supply list here.

Happy Friday! Welcome to the weekend, friends. Here is this week's round-up of project videos.
Memory Keeping Monday | Laughing & Playing
From Jen, "For this particular layout I wanted to show you a few ways you can use die cutting machines to enhance your layout. This particular layout uses both the Cameo machine and a traditional die cut machine like the Big Shot. I also used a fun tool set from Hero Arts called “Frame Cuts” (you can find these tools in the products section below), which includes both stamping and die cutting.
The journaling was printed on a label which is from a digital kit here at 2Peas. Digital kit elements can be printed out on cardstock and used as traditional elements (which is called hybrid scrapbooking).
Learn more about the tools and process for this project in the video below..." ... see supplies & challenge here.
The Adventures of Glitter Girl | Adventure 051: Getting Glittery
From Shimelle, "This week Glitter Girl has one more Christmas-themed adventure to share with you, and this discussion [twopeasinabucket.com] on the general scrapbooking message board inspired her to share some favourite techniques for a supply near and dear to her heart: glitter! Her adventure takes her through three projects this week: a 12x12 page with two different glitter techniques (one more messy than the other), an entry in her 2012 Christmas journal and a quick and easy Christmas card.
Come along for the adventure, won't you?" ...see supplies and challenge here.
Finally Friday | Christmas Shaker Card
From Lynn, "Hi everybody! I am back with another Finally Friday video for you. For this card I created a fun Christmas shaker card using the Winter Wonderland collection by My Minds Eye. I don't know about you, but I just ADORE shaker cards. I especially think they are just perfect for holiday cards (they remind me of snow globes). They are SO MUCH FUN to create and really easy too! If you have any question at all about how I created this particular shaker card or shaker cards in general please feel free to leave your questions in the comments section. I hope you enjoy the video. Thanks for watching!" ...see supplies and challenge here.

Reminder #2. The workshop giveaway for Lisa Truesdell's latest class, Start Here, is still open! Click here to enter and good luck! Now it's time for a look back at the classes that went up this week:
Memory Keeping Monday | This Moment with Shannon Tidwell
From Shannon, "Hi and Welcome to Memory Keeping Monday! This month one of our theme prompts is using a die-cutting machine. So of course I put my Silhouette to work!
As I've mentioned before, I still have the original Silhouette. So if you are worried about what a big investment a Cameo is, don't fret…you'll be able to use it for years and years.
As you can see I incorporated some really cute artwork on this layout. And she's probably going to be a little upset when she first sees that I used it…but I figure that's better than it falling on the floor and the dog eating it…literally. It was too cute to not keep and put on display in a scrapbook. Obviously the headband was my starting point….and I added some more feathers cut with the Silhouette to further embellish.
I cut quite a bit more than I used. Once I got started on the layout I discovered it didn't need much. A bonus of using one of a kind artwork!
Ok, now you should watch the video." ...see supplies and challenge here.
The Adventures of Glitter Girl | Episode 050: Christmas Scrapbook Party
From Shimelle, "This week Glitter Girl takes on the conundrum of whether to create just small pages for December, full size Christmas layouts or a combination of both! As always, this topic was inspired by a discussion [twopeasinabucket.com] on the General Scrapping message board at Two Peas in a Bucket, where you can discuss any scrapbooking dilemma. In today's adventure Glitter Girl starts with a look at two of her Christmas journals (from 2009 and 2010) then creates a 12x12 page with an extra 8x8 photo from Christmas 2009.
Come along for the adventure, won't you?" ...see supplies and challenge here.
Finally Friday | Thank You So Much with Laura Craigie
From Laura, "I wanted to make a Thank-you card to say thanks for watching my Finally Friday video's this year, this year has been so much fun and you all have left the most wonderful comments for me. Can't wait to see what 2013 holds, and all the new scrapbooking goodies it will bring. hehe
I used one of my favourite winter lines this year, and it's by Fancy Pants called Blissful Blizzard. The paper pack includes both glitter and corrugated paper! Which I just LOVE :)
In the video I show you how to make the paper flower which is so easy, and uses paper from a number of different single sided 6x6 paper pads. In the last image here I show you a very similar card I made with the leftover scraps and I made the flower using washi tape and cardstock instead. I might actually prefer that option since you see the lovely grain of the cardstock.
The centre of the flowers is a chipboard button by October Afternoon's Woodland Park line and I just love them! I also pulled out my trusty Unibal pen which is by far my favourite white gel pen! " ...see supplies and challenge here.
